METHOD AND MEANS FOR SQUEEZING TUBES OF PAPER CONTAINING HAIR CURLERS AND EMPLOYED IN THE ART OF UNDULATION.

Application filed July 29, 1922. Serial No. 578,398.

T 0 all whom, z't may concern: I

Be it known that I, LOUIS Aoosrrm, a

citizen of France, and a resident of Paris,

France, have invented some new and useful Improvements in Methods and Means for Squeezing Tubes of Paper Containin Hair Curlers and Employed in the Art of ndulation, of which the followingis a specification.

Previous improvements relating to the paper tubes for hair curlers, employed in hair waving, are stated in the following chief points (l) A process consisting of replacing the fastening of the tube, generally performed manually with a pincher, by a mechanical fastening or a particular pincher.

(2) A pincher for the paper tubes forming hair curlers comprising two articulated levers, each on its own axle and between two plates, two oscillating arms on an axle placed on a lever and comprising a screw oscillating at the end of another lever and carrying a wheel, the said screw being placed 1n a hole in the opposed lever, an the locking of wheel being efiected manually by pressin the exterior surface of the lever, the said pincher being in position durin the operation of waving.

he present invention has for its object the perfecting and improvement. of the above described pincher, and consists chiefly of an arrangement of this nature com rising a disc having a portion cut away rom the center and having a lockin screw nut moving backwards. and forwar s and oscillating on an extension, and oscillating itself on an axle between two other similar discs,

with a similar member to shut the two parts and maintain them closed by the said screw operating the fastening and then holding the paper tube (containing the rolled hair and surroundedwith a bandage of moist borax).

This arrangement gives an absolute security and prevents all loss of steam by means of the hermetic fastening; the paper being completely surrounded by the pincher which encloses it completely.

The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings which represent one form of the disc-pincher.

In said drawings Fig. 1 shows thepincher open.

Fig. 2 shows the pincher shut and fastened by a screw nut,

in the drawings, 100 is the disc having a portion 20 cut away from the center, and having an extension 30, upon the axis of which moves a screw provided with a lock nut 60.

On the axle 70, and from each side of the disc 100, oscillate two similar discs 80, 90, each cut away at 20, and having extensions 30, provided with recesses 101 to receive the screw 50, while the pointed part of the disc 100 enters between the two other discs 80, 90, to lock between them the tubes of paper forming the curlers in the orifice 20.

The discs 80, 90, may be bound together by a pin 1100 with a wedge 1200 enabling the disc 100 to pass freely from the inside.

What is claimed is A pincher for hair curling, comprising a disc havinga portion cut away from the center and havin a locking screw nut moving backwards an forwards and oscillating on an extension, and oscillating itself on an axle between two other similar discs, with a similar member to shut the two parts and maintain them closed by the said screw operating the fastening and then holding the paper tube.

In testimony whereof 1 have signed my 85 name 'to this specification.
